    AbstractMen are at highest risk of cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, some cancers, suicide and transport-related injury. An anticipatory approach to men's health in general practice should assess risk for these conditions and offer effective interventions, either to prevent them or manage them early. This requires attention to the barriers, not only to men accessing general practice, but also to appropriate assessment and management, especially among disadvantaged groups.
